Prediction: Zhelei Zhang on Points
Result: Joseph Parker by Points
This fight was one I was really looking forward to and while it never caught fire it was very interesting and engaging for the 12 rounds. It was a very intense fight as Parker went down multiple times but was largely outboxing Zhang. It wasn’t very high output but it was very tactical and enjoyable.
